DYFS worker accused of child endangerment

Authorities say an adoption specialist with New Jersey's child welfare agency sent sexually charges messages to a 15-year-old boy that he met through church.

Frednel Lambert also worked as a choir director at the church in Newark.

Authorities say the 34-year-old Union Township resident is charged with 3rd Degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child.

Union County Prosecutor Theodore Romankow says the boy's mother contacted the Springfield Police Department in September. The prosecutor says the chats were conducted through Facebook over a two-week period.
